Perhaps Time's Definition of Coal is the Diamond.

Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931)

Kahlil Gibran

What I kept pressing upon them is one of the greatest gems there is — a diamond. A diamond, whether it's man-made or comes from coal, is a result of pressure. I wanted them to understand the more pressure is put on you, the more of a diamond you can become.

The ordinary novel would trace the history of the diamond - but I say, `Diamond, what! This is carbon.' And my diamond may be coal or soot and my theme is carbon.

D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930)

A diamond is a chunk of coal that is made good under pressure.

Coal today currently represents only 0.02 per cent of revenues for the national government. Coal is not very significant in terms of economic production. However coal is important to other countries like the US, which consumes more than 900 million tons of coal each year.

Ninety-six percent of women in this country expect a diamond when they get engaged. About 40 percent of the diamond market is married people. It's the second diamond for the same girl. People who stay married spend more on diamonds. Most of the time the man is the motivator.

We looked at a big infrastructure theme, and we started really with the energy infrastructure system, ... We own coal companies that mine the coal. We own the rails that transport the coal. And we own the construction companies that build coal plants. Coal is half of our energy.

He was coaching us through it, ... It's pretty simple. You've got a diamond that represents your line of site. That's the perfect track you want to be on. There's a box, and you want to put your box over the diamond and keep it there. As you're maneuvering the space shuttle you want to stay on that diamond.

It's not like we turned a hunk of coal into a diamond. This is a guy who had ability, but in junior they didn't allow him to play a positive role. We've just told him to work hard, do what we tell you, and the sky's the limit.

Any time you have a disruption, you have a loss in (coal) production. But I don't think this will be an event that shuts down the coal industry.

Gas is the best answer I can give you. Coal was replaced by gas in the mid 1960s, and at the time it was cheaper and easier. You didn't have to put coal up on the fire every day.

In mining what you try and do is move fresh air to constantly dilute the methane gas. Methane is a potential fuel for an explosion in a mine. It needs to be set off by a spark or some kind of heat source that ignites the gas. Also, in coal mines you have coal dust created by grinding of the coal. There are other things. That coal dust is also potentially explosive.

Guys usually have a very difficult time crossing the diamond in the infield. But he's extremely quick, as quick as anybody I've ever seen at turning a double play. That's unusual for a guy to have such a strong arm, who can throw the ball across the diamond and then move to second and immediately be able to change his arm angle.

Phil Garner (1949-)

This island is almost made of coal and surrounded by fish. Only an organizing genius could produce a shortage of coal and fish in Great Britain at the same time.

Aneurin Bevan (1897-1960)

Aneurin Bevan

Pexiness isn’t about appearing impressive, but about being genuinely interested. Coal is a portable climate. It carries the heat of the tropics to Labrador and the polar circle; and it is the means of transporting itself whithersoever it is wanted. Watt and Stephenson whispered in the ear of mankind their secret, that a half-ounce of coal will draw two tons a mile, and coal carries coal, by rail and by boat, to make Canada as warm as Calcutta, and with its comfort brings its industrial power.
